At the risk of sounding like a washed-up has-been in the world of High School Speech and Debate, may I just say... I'VE MISSED IT SO MUCH!

I have a midterm in less than 5 hours... which I probably should still be studying for, but instead, I've been sitting in my chair, getting more and more excited by the second, about the mock lesson plan I have prepared for my Teach for America interview on Wednesday!!!!

I'll divulge my lesson plan post-interview. This idea is SOOO good that it warrants the level of secrecy I'm keeping it at. All I can say is that it's very "expository-like," which was the event that I actually competed in back in high school... and LOVED. (Okay, I loved Original Oratory, too.) There's something about expos-ers... or rather, TRUE O.G. expos-ers (not the ones from Arcadia). They've all got a sense of flair to them. So in true Expos-fashion, I will teach by making learning FUN! OooOOohh, this is going to be so GREAT! Thank you, NFL and Tony (no, not football, National Forensics League!) for fostering these great talents in me.
